Patented Sept. 1, 1914.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, Evm'rr H. Brenner, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michi-.
being bad to the accompanying drawings,
which form a part of this specificatipn.
'llhis inventionrelates to perforating machines and has for its object, a machine for perforating ribbons or tape.
It is designed especially for perforating ribbon used forthe operation of an electrical display, as a motograph such as is described in my Patent No. 1,050,203.
The particular features and the novel orrangements will more fully appear in the detailed description following.
In the drawings :-Figure 1, is a top plan view of the machine. Fig. 2, is a side elevation. Fig. 3, is an end elevation the supporting table being shown in section. Fig. 4, is a diagrammatic viewol the pattern disk, its control, and theelectric magnets that operate the punch setters. Fig. 5, is a plan view, showing how the punches perforate the ribbon. Fig, 6, is a View of a portion of the pattern disk. Fig. 7, is a side elevation of the pattern disk and its control, showing them in connection with the eontaota that operate the magnets. Fig. 8, is a detail show ng the mountin of the pattern disk, and its capability springing u Fig, 9, is a plan view of the pattern dis one of its control members, and adjacent mechanism. Fig. 10, is a t p lanview of the contacts wh ch are operate by the pattern disks, and adjacent parts. Fig. 11, is a, side elevation of the plugs with which the contacts have a slidingl engagement. Fig. 12, is a cross section t rough the machine showing in elevation the cutt ng mechan sm and the magnet that sets this inoperative position. Fig. 13, is a side elevation of the same mechanism, portions being broken away. for the purpose of clear illustrat on.
I my previous application there is described switching mechanism for controlling anelectric display. This'display is called a mqtograph mea ing a mov ng rep esse tatien. This representation or character may be a literai' character or other symbol and it is cause to appear on the display board and to move across the display board from left to right. By employing a plurality of characters any given message may be caused to appear in intelligible or readable form upon the electrical display board. llencc sentences and whole paragraphs of reading matter may be caused to be thrown upon the display board and travel thereacross at a speed about equivalent to the rapidity of perception of an observer. These effects can be caused by a-perforated insulating ribbon which travels across a. field of electrical terminals. The perforations on this ribbon are usually of about the same arrangement as the letter or character appearing upon the display board.
- It is the urpose of my machine to perforate the ri bon for controlling the display board.
A, is the table upon which is an orted the major part of the apparatus. The rolls 1 and 2 (Fig. 12) are rotatably mounted above the table and between these passes the ribbon R. A pair of blocks 8 and 4 are ar' ranged beneath the rolls 1 and 2 and slihtly spaced so that the ribbon Riiiay pass t erebetween vertically. These blocks are traversed by bores through which reciprocate the horizontal punches 5 when they or some of them are actuated by the mechanism here inafter to be described. The bores in the die block 4 enlarge seat the point 6 "so as to allow the free egress of the waste.
The unche's 5,'jWl 1iOh are lural, there bein s own eight (although t is not essential that there be 'ust this number), are operated in the fol owiplg manner: The punches are ordinaril d in a retracted position, as shown in ig.':12, by the sprin which is attached to the end of eac punch. In connection with each punch is a punch-setter 8 which is a bellarm that is pivoted on the shaft 9. M end of the bell crank arm or uhch setter 8 is ivoted a punch-actuator 1 whose uraper end is contacted by a rubber covered bu errod 11 and whose lower end contacts the end of the punch '5.- The spring 19 dprease s against the unch-setter and or innrily holds the punc setter in the position shown in'the full lines of this figure and the punch actuator in the positionshown'in'the full lines. However, when draft is made upon on t e lower.
Referring to Fig. 4 it will be seen that the pedal 27 engages a spring ressed plunger 40 which is ordinarily forced out of engagement with the spring terminal 41 by the spiral spring which encircles the plunger. This spacing of the plunger and the spring terminal 41 operates as a break in the circuit which controls each of the magnets, hence the magnets are never ener ized soas to operate the presser-roll into contact with the disk so that the letter on.the pattern may contact with the terminals. The motor is switched on and off by an ordinary electric switch. which is not shown, and runs continuously while the machine is beingoperated.
The ta e or ribbon R is carried on a storage roll which is supported by a pair of rackets'42, and 42from the floor. .42 is slightly, higher than 42 to cause the ribbon to guide into the die blocks 4 and 5 with the right hand edge always in contact with the right hand wall of the slot between the die blocks. This insures the ribbon always being alined to bring the perforations a givendistance fyom the edge of the ribbon. The lettersupon the pattern disk are arrangedso that those most commonly used are as close as possible together. They may. also be arranged in groups which are most likely to occur in words so that the pattern disk may be operated with the least possible revolution.
